hey all. just thought a little bit of help would go a long way.

Im a teeneage girl who has definantly outgrown pinks and purples. light blues, light creamy browns and whites are my new colours and any ideas how to make them work would be great! With new white furniture and a few white wicker items, it should hopefully work out noice!

any ideas would be great! thanks

How to paint real & fake wood furniture black?

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009
luvnthenight asked:


I have a very old dresser which is real wood, and a headboard which I think is some sort of fake wood (its smooth on it’s surface) black to match each other. I am thinking something semi-gloss or glossy. I don’t want things to stick to it as the dresser has my TV on top of it, and the headboard is sort of like a bookshelf, so if non-glossy would be better I would go for that too. I think the old dresser is stained and is kind of “soft” when I scratch it with my nail. I’m looking for suggestions on prep and type of paint to use, and as easy a process as possible. It doesn’t have to be perfect, just look put together. Thanks!

Also, I have a papasan (round) chair that I might eventually paint to match. Would spray paint be my best bet for the frame? I believe it is a sort of wicker.
